Tires Continental or NANKANG

I bought conti extreme contacts for my last set about 2 years ago,and i will only be buying conti extreme contacts from now on.

Upgrading from the stock tires to GP5000's will make much, much more of a difference than the wheelset upgrade.

I have the Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 Plus tires on my SHO and absolutely love them. So far I have not had any issues with the lighter snows we have had here in northern Virginia.

I think it really depends on the car. A fresh set of 13” AR-1 will last 2000-3000km on track on my dad’s Caterham.

You would be better off choosing Continentals ControlContact or Falkens Pro G5

Continental Premiumcontact 6 on my 2021 hybrid. Quite pricy but quiet and feel very safe and I had some emergency braking situations on a wet road. After 5k miles I'm still happy about this choice.

I'm very happy with the Continental Viking Contact 7 snow tires, they are surprisingly quiet on dry roads.

Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02s are a bargain for a flagship summer tire that's excellent in the rain. I have them on my Si and run them daily and for autocross. While not as as sticky as a 200TW summer tire, they are really great in dry or wet conditions, and reasonably priced. I also had DWS06+ on my previous daily, a 2013 328i, and I liked those too.

The Nankang NS20 wears well on track and has oK grip, but in the past I've found it to have a somewhat tricky balance around the limit. GReat for learning how to drive, but again it's not the best tyre in the wet so on the road it might not be ideal.

Same thing happened to me with conti gp5000 after around a year. I replaced, but will move on to different brand and tire if it happens again in such a short period of time
